October 7th Social Media Feeds Channeled Rivers of Blood to Live Feeds
Israeli families whose loved ones were murdered or kidnapped on October 7 are now suing Meta for $1 billion, accusing Facebook and Instagram of enabling Hamas by allowing the livestreaming and amplification of the atrocities. Their claim is simple but devastating: social media didn’t just document the massacre—it became part of the weapon. This lawsuit underscores a grim reality: war has entered a new dimension, where digital platforms are as much a battlefield as the streets of southern Israel.
Pastor Mark Biltz stands at the convergence of biblical prophecy and modern conflict—illuminating the way forward as the world’s digital platforms have themselves become new theatres of warfare. A recent lawsuit filed by bereaved Israeli families seeks over 1 billion dollars in damages from Meta, claiming that Facebook and Instagram served as tools of terror on October 7, 2023, by broadcasting live scenes of murder, abduction, and atrocity during the Hamas invasion—effectively weaponizing social media as part of the attack on Israel.
Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries, has long been warning of a spiritual and geopolitical storm, echoing Daniel’s prophetic vision. His message now finds chilling resonance in how digital technologies are co-opted for brutality, surveillance, influence—and warfare. Just as Daniel 12:4 foretold that “many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased,” today’s world sees unprecedented information flow—and abuse—spread across networks and screens.
Biltz interprets this prophecy as a sign of the end-times age, warning that while technology delivers knowledge at lightning speed, it also opens new vulnerabilities: propaganda, terror livestreams, psychological assault. The Meta lawsuit highlights how the digital realm now plays a pivotal, unforgiving role in the battle for truth and protection of the innocent.
As a pro-Israel voice, Pastor Biltz urges Christians and believers worldwide to recognize that warfare has expanded beneath the surface. Platforms designed to connect are now arenas where conflict, trauma, and ideological warfare unfold in real-time. He challenges the faithful: we must pray, discern, and mobilize—spiritually and practically—to oppose this perversion of the gift of knowledge.
